Conveniently located and nice exteriors. The room was quite spacious and generally clean, though the bed was very probably on the smallee side of queen. The room has a fridge, microwave, electric kettle. The hair dryer was dismantled from the wall and bit inconvenient to use but nothing major. The blankets didnt seem clean and found something dried in one of them. The turn off for was the ‘free wifi’. The access points do not cover the property and since we were given the corner room near the stairs we got pretty much no coverage. Raised it with the staff twice and pretty much got a nothing we can do attitude blaming nbn (but has nothing to do with nbn). The most surprising and very disappointing aspect was that the staff refused to change the AC remote. The screen could not be read, properly needed a battery change and was very difficult to change the mode or temp. Their response was that they have different brands of AC in rooms and they cannot do anything. I found these aspects quite unhelpful, particularly something as trivial as changing the batteries on the remote. Unlikely to be staying there again and wont recommend.

Dear Guest,We apologies for the inconvenience caused to you regarding the WIFI, our whole motel was affected periodically due to NBN working on the network/lines in the street.Please don't make false accusations regarding our cleaning staff, our cleaners and staff work hard to provide all Guests a pleasant stay. Our blankets are freshly washed daily. We are working hard renovating and updating our facilities and yes some of our hair dryers are still needing replacing. We were unable to change the air con remote as the time of day you notified us the shops were shut and the universal one, we had on site was unable to connect to the brand of air con in your room. We have since rectified this matter and fixed it.

Clean, simple motel in a good location. Property itself (hard and soft fixtures) is fairly outdated but think the price reflects this. It's a good value. We did stay on a Saturday night and it was a bit noisy with music from a venue nearby but thankfully wasn't loud enough to impact our sleep negatively. Bed comfy enough. Large room. Good hot water and shower pressure.

Be very careful when booking this property if you plan on arriving for late check in. They forgot to leave our keys in the late check in safe and then tried lying about some bogus medical emergency story. We could not access our room or help and ended up sleeping in our car. The staff tried refusing to refund the money as well. The male staff member was rude and irate and would hang up when we would call to sort out our refund . Took an email threatening to report him to police for him to refund the money. Would avoid this place like the plague.

Man at the desk was nice, however we were not aware that the restaurant was no longer operating, and had to get food elsewhere. Also, please don't give guests an option to have connecting rooms when they're not on offer in future.

A pleasant one night stay.
Good value for money for a one night solo stay. Nice friendly service at the check in and the room was functionally perfect, if a bit aesthetically tired. A quiet and peaceful upstairs room, a comfortable bed with decent pillows, I had a good night's sleep, despite some light does come through from outside the curtains. Good shower and nice quality towels. Plenty of off-street parking available. Would definitely stay again.
